Chapter 392 393 Second set of plansDefensive Array simply constructed On the ground, an Alanhill soldier from his pocket near his shoulder He pulled out a smoking stick and pulled it apart so that a dazzling yellow smoke came out all at once.
He threw the smoking stick not far in front of him, then immediately retracted his head.
At the same time, on the ground of the human Defensive Array, dozens of soldiers threw this kind of mark on their own up ahead at the same time, which clearly marked the approximate location of the current Defensive Array.
These smoking rods can be seen very clearly in the sky, so that those air force attack planes, especially jet attack planes, will not accidentally injure the areas they control.
And at this time, Yilan Raymond, who had already swooped, pulled his trigger against the obvious square formation of the demon army.
The A-10 attack aircraft, codenamed Thunderbolt, is a super ground attack aircraft designed and built around the owned GAU-8 Avenger cannon.
The design idea at that time was to use the powerful GAU-8 Avenger cannon to destroy all types of ground targets, and the so-called bombs and missiles were just the initial design of the A-10 attack aircraft. Just the head.
Conversely, the GAU-8 Avenger cannon was originally a parallel project of the AX program for the A-10 attack aircraft. The performance requirements of the gun were announced in 1970, and the specific scheme was designed by the competition between General Electric and Philco Ford.
The two prototypes of the AX program, the YA-10 and the Northrop YA-9, were originally prepared to install the weapon, but the GAU-8 was not yet completed when the prototype development began, so the M61 Vulcan was used. Cannons are temporarily replaced. When completed, the GAU-8 full system (accurately named the A/A 49E-6 artillery system) accounted for about 16 percent of the A-10 attack aircraft's net weight.
It can be said responsibly that A-10 and GAU-8 were the products of mutual accommodation and final compromise.
Therefore, the structure of the A-10 attack aircraft is quite special: the Avenger cannon is installed slightly to the left of the central axis of the fuselage, while its landing gear is slightly to the right, which ensures the operation of the cannon The actual firing barrel is on the center axis of the aircraft.
The GAU-8 weighs 280kg, and after counting the reloading system and the drum, it weighs 1,828kg—nearly two tons, all stacked on one cannon. Still something that never happened.
The distance from the muzzle to the end of the ammunition system is 5.931 meters, the drum diameter is 88 cm, and the overall length is 1.82 meters. The magazine holds 1,174 rounds at a time, but normally only 1,150 rounds.
When firing incendiary armor-piercing rounds, the gun's muzzle velocity can reach 990 m/s, almost the same as the lighter 20mm shell of the M61 Vulcan cannon.
In order to obtain the best armor-piercing effect, the standard ammunition arrangement of GAU-8 is to use a PGU-14/B incendiary armor-piercing bullet with a warhead weighing about 425 grams and a warhead weighing about 360 grams in a ratio of 4:1. of the PGU-13/B high-explosive incendiary (HEI).
The warhead of the PGU-14/B is embedded in a lightweight aluminum alloy cartridge case, which is surrounded by a smaller-caliber depleted uranium core. The Avenger Cannon is extremely effective against tanks and any armored vehicle.
A very important innovation in the ammunition design of the GAU-8 is the use of aluminum alloys instead of traditional steel and brass.
This allows the aircraft to carry 30% more ammunition with the same overall load. The case also has a plastic case hoop designed for the long spear tube lifespan. The ammo is about 290mm long and weighs about 0.69kg.
Such a sturdy performance makes this artillery imposing when firing. With the rumbling sound of the terrifying engine of the A-10 attack aircraft, the visual effect of the attack is very cool.
The moment Ilan Raymond pulled the trigger, nearly a hundred shells were fired at the enemy's phalanx. These depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets with no difficulty, with their terrifying rate of fire, penetrated the magic defense barrier above this square, as easy as cutting a piece of tofu.
These terrifying ammunition then fell on the demonic forces in the phalanx. The huge 30mm caliber artillery shell, with unprecedented penetrating power, raged through the crowd and was unstoppable.
The ammunition pierced through thin armor, through the bodies of demon soldiers, and through the rest of them behind them.
Eventually the ammunition hit the ground, splashing a cloud of dust on it, filling it with heartbreaking white smoke.
Like chopping melons and vegetables, this demon phalanx locked up by Ilan Raymond suddenly turned around.
A cannonball pierced through the body of the demon officer who pointed his sword at the front and ordered his troops to attack. He was spitting out blood, clutching his arms that had been hit in two by the shell, and looked at the sky in despair.
He was not directly hit by the terrifying cannonball, but was hit in the arm by the rubble splashed by a cannonball, and he was injured like this.
Beside him, some demons were hit in two at once by such cannonballs, their upper body still struggling on whilst at death's door alive, lying on the ground constantly howling and moaning.
The place passed by the GAU-8 cannon baptism is almost in barren state.
It can be imagined how huge and mighty this weapon is. You must know that the puppet tank of the puppet empire is equipped with nothing more than a single-barreled 30mm caliber rapid-fire gun.
This Alanhill anti-aircraft weapon has been discontinued for a long time now. However, there are still many production lines imitating this artillery in various countries, and many countries are still using this backward weapon.
The Holy Demon Emperor has been mass-producing this weapon until it was destroyed by Alanhill. Later, Alanhill took over these factories, and now they have completely stopped production and turned to other weapons and equipment.
The puppet empire is still mass-producing 30mm caliber rapid-fire guns until now: they are equipped with a large number of such guns, on the one hand, the technology is mature, on the other hand, because their ammunition inventory is too much .
However, Alanhill has put this 30mm rapid-fire gun on the plane, and has given this gun a higher and stronger rate of fire, equipped with sharper ammunition, and improved it to an unprecedented height.
It only takes a short shot of 1 to 2 seconds, this sky-defying Avenger cannon can destroy a demon phalanx, even if the opponent opens the magic defense barrier, it still has to pay a heavy price !
At this moment over the battlefield, there are dozens of such terrifying A-10 attack aircraft. They went back and forth, destroying all demonic troops they could see.
While passing through the demon phalanx, they would drop a bomb from time to time, causing even heavier casualties.
There was also chaos in the demon army that lost its leader. This phalanx had to start retreating. The latter phalanx made way for them to retreat and reorganize. The demon phalanx continued to move forward again.
However, before this new phalanx could get close to the human Defensive Array, it was visited by another A-10 attack aircraft.
It was also a familiar round of strafing. It was also a bomb that fell into the demon's position. It was also an explosion and pieces of white smoke. It was also a massive loss.
The low-altitude performance was outstanding, and the A-10 attack aircraft with an extremely small turning radius circled in the sky. Once again, Elan Raymond pressed the sight on an area that had collapsed. on the phalanx of demons.
He calmly drove his plane into the attack route, and then calmly pulled his trigger.
"tú tú tú tú!" The 30mm caliber giant cannon GAU-8 Avenger once again spewed deadly fire, shrouding the demon army.
Ilan Ramon felt very excited when he pulled up his attack aircraft. He likes this kind of hearty attack, and also likes the smooth attacking feeling that the new weapon brings.
It has to be said that this new type of aircraft is really suitable for attacking large-scale group targets such as demon troops, it is almost tailor-made for demon troops.
Wherever these A-10 attack planes passed, the demon's building was destroyed, the soldiers fell to the ground, black blood was everywhere, and the scene was chaotic.
On the high ground in the distance, an evil Demon General looked at his collapsed troops with an extremely ugly expression. Originally, he also had a handsome face, but now it looks a little distorted.
"Where's the Demon Dragon Army? Why haven't we dispatched yet? Ah? Why?" He looked towards the Demon General who was in charge of commanding the Demon Dragon Army, and asked, "Just look at me. Troops were beaten?"
"I've lost more than 20 dragons today! There are still more than 30 fighters! Do you think I'm here to watch the fun?" The other party was also full of heart Furious, he immediately retorted.
The Demon Air Force is really struggling today, taking off a lot of Demon fighter jets, but not even a single Alanhill plane was shot down.
The only few victories were obtained during the ground troops' air defense. It was nothing more than a few Il-2 attack aircraft that were shot down, as well as a modified ground support B-25 attack aircraft.
After losing more than 20 dragons, the Demon Air Force had to stop the stupidity of fighting for air supremacy.
The showdown with Alanhill Air Force, which has early warning aircraft and F-16 and F-15 fighter jets, is indeed too reluctant for the strength of the Demon Air Force.
"Our ground troops are collapsing! Our well-planned attack has just failed?" Pointing to the friendly troops struggling in the distance, the evil Demon General's army, who had just spoken first, then spoke again. Asked once.
"Perhaps, we can only implement the second set of combat plans." The evil Demon General who was in charge of commanding the Demon Air Force thought for a moment before suggesting it.
"Okay, that's the only way to do it." Hearing this suggestion, the evil Demon General's face became a little better, and nodded said: "Let the demon dog be the queen! Withdraw the troops! Take the attack. Give the opportunity to humans! hmph hmph hmph..."
"Woo...!" Following his orders, the melodious horns of the demon army came one after another, echoed in the explosion, and as he ordered These horns sounded, and the demon army began to retreat.
